Issued by the German Democratic Republic (DDR) in 1979, this 20-pfennig stamp features a vibrant depiction of an Anatolian animal carpet dating from around 1400 CE. The intricate geometric design shows stylized animal motifs in striking blue, red, and yellow hues, reflecting early Turkish weaving traditions. The original artifact is housed in the Islamic Museum, Berlin, and the stamp celebrates cultural heritage and textile artistry preserved through museum collections. It forms part of a DDR series honoring historic art and artifacts.
